Cover Reveal…Say You Love Me Again by Carrie Aarons

by Courtney

Carrie Aarons has revealed the
cover for Say You Love Me Again!

Releasing February 24, 2023

Who wouldn’t jump at the chance to spend a few months on a concert tour traveling the country? Did I mention that the famous musician headlining it is the ex-husband who walked out on you?

When I met Levi Truin, we were young, rich, famous, and beautiful. Nothing could go wrong, we had the world at our fingertips. Except millions of dollars, marriage and a baby all before twenty two isn’t all fun and games. And when my indiscretion caused it to come crashing down, we were just another Hollywood couple on the cutting room floor.

Seven years later, Levi and I are the poster-children for exemplary co-parenting. Attending red carpet events in support of each other, Sunday night dinners for the sake of our daughter, and her private school functions where we save seats and make polite conversation. The articles paint us in the healthiest of lights, because none of them know the truth.

So when he wants to take our daughter on tour, I have a decision to make. Let her traipse around venues with a nanny, or tag along and somehow survive sleeping in a bunk below my ex for months.

We go on the road, taking our demons and heartbreaks with us. And as we spend nights together with the highway lights flashing past the windows, that familiar spark reignites. Old hurts are discussed, wounds I guard tight are exposed, and my ex-husband makes confessions I’ve been waiting years for. Against all odds, he might just be able to love me again.

But then the dirty details of our long ago breakup get leaked to the press, and the newly fledgling relationship might be doomed from the start.

Lies, silence, and miscommunication are the things that ripped us apart. Can we push past our scars to reunite our family after everything we’ve been through?

Release Day Blitz & Review…Hail Mary by Kandi Steiner

by Courtney

Hail Mary by Kandi Steiner is now live!

Leo F*cking Hernandez.

North Boston University’s star running back, notorious bachelor, and number one on my people I would murder if I could get away with it list.

And now?

He’s my new roommate.

I used to think I loved him.

But that was before I hated him.

He doesn’t remember who I am, or how he made my life miserable for years. And before I unknowingly moved across the street from him, I couldn’t have cared less. I was living my life despite him and what happened that summer, chasing my dream of becoming a tattoo artist.

“The Pit,” as the university so gracefully nicknamed the house he lives in with three other football players, has served as nothing more than a pain in my ass and a constant reminder of the boy who broke my heart. Watching him parade his one-night-stands in and out of it never helped, either.

But with rent this cheap and so close to the tattoo shop, I’ve learned to ignore him — no matter how he’s tried to get under my skin.

At least, until this summer. Because when a water and mold disaster leaves me with no choice but to vacate my house, I have nowhere to go. And Leo Hernandez offers me a deal I can’t refuse.

Live at The Pit with him and the guys, free of charge, until my landlord fixes this mess.

Ignoring him was easy when I lived across the street, but in the same house, with him shirtless half the time and watching me with his cocky grin and searing gaze? It’s impossible.

Still, I have to try. I have to push him away, even when he makes it infuriatingly difficult to do so.

He’s broken my heart once.

I won’t let him do it again.

KANDI!!!! What a way to end this amazing series!

Hail Mary is the final book in the Kandi Steiner’s Red Zone Rivals series and she truly delivers a Hail Mary – pun absolutely intended.

Kandi has nailed the college sports romance with this series. I cannot say enough amazing things about each book. And they’re all so different and yet so damn consuming.

Mary and Leo’s story was one my favorite ones to read. Mary and Leo end up being roommates, much to Mary’s dismay. Mary has always been apprehensive about football players, but she been quite mean and rude towards Leo is particular. He has no clue why but he does everything he can to make suer she’s comfortable during her temporary stay.

Kandi has this knack for writing characters that are uniquely strong and know how to hold their own. I loved Mary so much. And Leo – that man surprised me!! Their story was superb!!

I have loved every single one of these books int this series. First series that I have ever given 5 stars to every book.

Truly, a MUST READ!!!

Release Day Blitz…The Riding by Jodi Ellen Malpas

by Courtney

The Rising by Jodi Ellen Malpas is now live!

You can’t rise from the ashes if you’ve never been burned.

When notorious mafia boss Danny Black and lethal assassin James Kelly join forces to hunt down a mutual, elusive nemesis that threatens to destroy them both and take control of their city, they know they will be entering a deadly game. A game they must win if they are ever going to live in peace with the women they love away from crime, corruption, and death.

But peace is an illusion, love is a daily torment, and death will always follow them.

As power starts to slip from their grasp, enemies re-emerge, and old, personal demons return to haunt them both, they finally accept they can never leave their world if they want to stay alive. So they need to protect it at all costs. No matter the consequences. No matter the losses. No matter the pain. They must make choices no men should make. Kill more ruthlessly, love more fiercely, and hate with more rage than ever before.

They’re capable. Ready.

But nothing prepares them for the secrets they uncover and the betrayals they face. Or the personal sacrifices they must make to rise again.

Two men.
One goal.
No mercy.

This is The Rising.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/75559814-fumbled-past

BLURB:

Twenty years have passed, yet not one thing in my hometown has changed … even the man I left behind.

I was the girl no one could touch because they all feared my father. He was a legend, the head football coach who had created this town’s Friday night lights. Only two football players dared to win my heart—the boy next door and the new guy in town. I grew up on this football field and fell hard for these two men, who loved me just as much as the game.

When my dad died, decisions had to be made, and I chose the one who held my heart.

As I sit here in the stands, watching the one I didn’t choose fill my father’s role, I can’t help but remember our fumbled past. Wondering if I followed the right guy or what my life would have been like if I hadn’t.

This is a tough one for me to review. It’s an interesting love triangle. And let me tell you – it’s nowhere near what you think.

This book is told mostly from past and builds to the present. I have to say that I enjoyed how Lauren was able to keep you guessing to the very end as to who Sadie ends up with.

I will tell you that there is no unnecessary drama in this and the love triangle isn’t as bad as it sounds.

This was a unique take on YA sport romance with a love triangle. That’s all I am going to say.

Cover Reveal…The Rules of Dating My Best Friend’s Sister by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward

by Courtney

Title: The Rules of Dating My Best Friend’s Sister

Authors: Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative

Photographer: Ashraf El Bahrawi

Model: Giorgos Mavrogiannis, @gio_mavrogiannis

Release Date: April 3, 2023

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes a new standalone romance.

Rule number one for dating your best friend’s sister: Don’t.

Just don’t do it.

Especially when your best friend is dead and the last thing he made you promise him was that you’d keep an eye on his little sister, but not too good of an eye.

As a musician whose longest committed relationship was six weeks, I, Holden Catalano, was the last guy on Earth who should’ve been messing around with Laney Ellison.

The super smart girl whom I affectionately dubbed Lala since childhood was always off limits.

Though that didn’t stop me from thinking about her over the years, especially those times when the two of us would sneak out onto the roof and talk for hours after my buddy fell asleep. It was innocent, but I’d always held a torch for her.

After Ryan passed away, I vowed to always protect Lala. That included protecting her—from me.

Now all grown up and a scientist, Lala needed a place to stay when she accepted a temporary research position in New York. I thought I did the right thing by offering her an apartment in the building I co-owned with my three friends.

Except having her close by reignited all of those old feelings.

And things started to get complicated.

Especially since she was engaged.

And especially since, lately, I’d noticed something more in her eyes. Desire.

Lala didn’t exactly look at me like the platonic brother figure I was trying so desperately to be, even though I wanted her more than I’d ever wanted anything.

Yet, I was being good—on my very best behavior.

But you know what they say…all good things must come to an end, right?

Release Day Blitz & Review…Before Us by Jewel E. Ann

by Courtney

Before Us by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

I never saw him coming.

I didn’t know what would happen after my client found me sleeping in my car.

I’d been cleaning his house as his wife was dying.

I didn’t expect them to invite me to live with them.

I didn’t expect Suzie to become my lifeline—until she was gone.

I didn’t expect him to ask me to marry him when he found out I needed medical insurance.

I didn’t expect to fall in love with a grieving man.

There are so many reasons to keep my distance from Zach. Every tender moment secreted away.

When we’re not together, I miss the man I call husband.

Does he miss his wife? If so, which one?

MORE THAN 5 STARS!!!!

Before Us is the perfect example of why I love reading Jewel’s books.

I don’t even know where to start but I do know that as a reader, I will not spoil any of the story line because the book needs to be experienced as you read.

Before Us was quite an emotional read for me and I knew it was going to be from the very beginning. And I was completely ok with that. However, it’s Jewel’s writing that puts this book on a whole other level. You experience everything these characters go through; I cried, laughed and just felt so much in between.

Jewel sprinkles some of the best advice about living within these pages – I practically highlighted the book!! I loved the dialogue and the interactions amongst all these characters. I LOVED EVERYTHING!!

I am truly at a loss for words to express how phenomenal this story is. Jewel’s writing is superb and it’s so unlike any other author I’ve read.

Before Us is a MUST READ!!

Cover Reveal…I’ll Always Be With You by Monica Murphy

by Courtney

Monica Murphy has revealed the gorgeous cover for I’ll Always Be With You!

Releasing: May 18, 2023

Cover Design: Emily Wittig Designs

Weston Fontaine is the hottest senior at Lancaster Prep.

And he knows it.

He’s gorgeous. Confident. Smart.

Too smart.

Everyone loves him. He could have any girl on campus, except for one.

Me.

I’m a Lancaster, meaning I’m basically untouchable–or so I thought. It’s my family who owns this God forsaken private school that I don’t want to attend. But according to my parents, I have to endure my senior year at Lancaster Prep before I can return to what I love the most: ballet.

West doesn’t make my time here easy. He’s arrogant. Crude. Insufferable. He torments me in the worst way, to the point that I can’t stand him. Yet he’s the only boy I’ve ever let touch me…

You see, West and I? We share a secret. On a hot summer night in Paris, we hooked up. And I never do that. Ever. I revealed parts of myself to him I’ve never shown anyone else. He’s seen me at my most vulnerable. I told him my secrets. And he told me his. In Paris, he was sexy. Protective. Even dare I say…sweet.

Now he’s the villain in my story, yet I can’t help but chase after that feeling only West can give me. Despite our hatred for each other, we somehow burn brighter when we’re together. So what happens when you helplessly fall for the one person you know is bad for you?

If you’re like me, you go ahead and fall for him anyway.

Release Day Blitz & Review…A Different Kind of Love by Nicola Haken

by Courtney

Title: A Different Kind of Love

Author: Nicola Haken
Genre: MM Romance

Release Date: February 1, 2023

BLURB

Despite growing up without it, William Walker knows all about love. He loves his wife. He loves his children. He loves the cat. He has the perfect family, and all he had to do to get it was push aside one pesky little feeling.

Unfortunately, love doesn’t pay the bills.

Following redundancy, an opportunity thrusts the amiable electrician into a world he’s only seen on the big screen, a world he’s now a part of creating. As a spark on a movie set, William is enthralled by the challenge. The freedom. The possibilities. And, in particular, by one very charismatic actor…

Laurence Cole.

The trouble with Laurence is that he makes that pesky feeling resurface. Worse, the longer he sticks around, the stronger it grows, the more it changes. Into what, William doesn’t know. It’s not love. William Walker knows all about love.

Unless…

It’s a different kind of love.

Nicola has popped my M/M romance cherry and it was the perfect book to do so.

William’s story is one for the books. I felt his emotions coming off the pages and just wanted to swallow him up in hugs and love.

I won’t give his story away because it’s one that needs to blind. The blurb gives you and idea of what his story is about, but it’s experiencing everything that he feels and goes through that makes this book phenomenal.

I have to say that Nicola creates some of the best characters and makes them so relatable and easy to love.

There is so much growth and self-reflection in this book and it just really seeped into my soul.

I cannot wait for everyone to read this one.

Demond is the oldest of the brothers and the broodiest of them. Everything was stolen from him when his family was forced into WITSEC because of his father’s choices. He’s never been able to truly deal with everything he lost. But now that he can return to his old life, he’s not sure he wants to until he finds out about Max.

I absolutely loved watching Desmond become more than his grumpy self. I loved watching him get to know his son and learning how he hits into Max’s life. The interactions between those two are my favorite parts of this book. It was just beautiful to watch Des become a better version of himself.

Des and Sadie fell into their familiar relationship with ease. I do wish we had her POV and how she’s handled things in the last ten years without Des around (that is my only gripe) but you can tell these two are fated to be together.

10 Signs You Need to Grovel is chocked full of emotions and will have you loving this small town (and all the people in it), very easily.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Tempting Enemy by M. Robinson

by Courtney

Release Date: January 31

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes an enemies to lovers, forbidden standalone romance.

Look but don’t touch… 

She showed up at my bar with a fake ID, I kicked her out. On her 18th birthday, the following week, she showed up again. Except this time, she was demanding a job. Willing to do whatever it took to get it.

Against my better judgment, she got her way, but I’m not going to make it easy on her. Neither are the guys at the bar.

I have two choices: Pretend she’s mine to protect her. Or deal with the consequences when her five older, overprotective brothers find out what their little sister is up to.

Either way…

It’s going to be hell on me.

Because the enemy is my temptation and like a sinner, I just can’t stay away.

The lovely Ms. Robinson truly knows how to start a series off with a bang!!!

Tempting Enemy was different than I anticipated and I loved it!!

Haven is the youngest amongst her siblings and the only girl. So she’s had enough of her overbearing brothers. She’s learn to be feisty and fight for what she wants. And she has sights set on Hayes.

Hayes does his best to keep Haven away from him. He does everything in his power to keep her safe too. He may not her to get tangled up with him, but he also protects her from others.

I loved everything about Haven and Hayes story. The chemistry is undeniable but that underlying drama that threatens to crush it, is what adds another layer to this story.

Monica – you have outdone yourself with this one. This is going to be one awesome series!!
